EXONERATE THE FALSELY ACCUSED
Being accused of a crime against a child condemns the accused as guilty. An accusation, no matter how false, evokes shame, disdain, fear, and expulsion from society. This can lead to a life time of psychological, emotional, financial and spiritual devastation, or PTSD.
Once accused, exoneration took thirty-four years for me. I was denied restitution, compensation, and justice.
I am not alone. From Miracle to Murder: Justice for Adam is my true crime memoir based on what happened to me and my two children. Below is a list of others who were falsely accused of crimes against children.
